An introductory course in pattern design, for pattern designers, tailors, stylists and fashion professionals.
This volume, divided into eight chapters, offers a wealth of in-depth knowledge relating to pattern design, beginning with a detailed study of people's measurements and builds, textile technology and tailoring terminology. It contains a comprehensive study of all types of skirts and trousers, from the most basic to the most elaborate.
It also explores making patterns for men and examines making alterations for different sizes.
Antonio Donnanno began in his career in his family's tailor shop and later, after majoring in history and philosophy, focused on the teaching of costume history and patternmaking techniques. In 1982, he founded the acknowledged Euromode School Italia in Bergamo, which soon expanded with new branches on the international stage and where, alongside his teaching duties, Donnanno also serves as director. Antonio Donnanno has written dozens of books about fashion and has his own consulting firm, focusing on patternmaking and business.
